Some new information,

Topic of interest for anyone who is interested in their own food.  There is a letter of "intenstions" from the Province that would (if fully implemented) impact local food production.

The paper can be found at the link below:

The paper itself is in pdf format as well as the "Response Form" (for individuals) link is below.

also there is an "online response form" (link is below)
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/codes/awcr/response.htm

 unless you would like to compose your own letter and mail it to:

Cindy Bertam
P.O. Box 28159 Westshore RPO
Victoria, B.C. V9B 6K8

Unfortunately, there is a "deadline" in responses regarding these proposed changes and topic.  The deadline is March 31st, 2012.  (When it was posted as of March 13, 2012.)

Additionally, this was also written about in the March edition of "Country Life in B.C." Magazine.  Link for the specific article is below:

Spring...To Be Anounced.

Greetings all bloggers,

It is now March, Spring appears to have sprung (we shall wait and see.)  If anyone out there is getting an 'itchy green thumb', check out the local area vendors for agricultural products or produce as there is lots of choices.

Congratulations to all the local athletes that won medals at the "B.C. Winter Games."  Kudos to all the athletes who participated as well.  As I am reminded of Mr. Boris Becker who once said "I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I love to play."  Of course, a heartfelt "Thank-You" to all the volunteers, without whose time and work, would not have made the event possible.

Re: The association's A.G.M. will be held on the evening 4th of April, at 7pm (until 9pm.)  The venue is (tentatively) scheduled to be "Silver Star Elementary School".  Don't forget the $5 membership/renewal fee for all individuals.  All are welcome.

Happy Easter to everyone and if anything arises we will blog it.  Comments on these or other local community subjects are welcome.
